Snowboarding Flexibility Training

For obvious reasons, snowboarding flexibility training is incredibly important to the life and longevity of a snowboarders carrer on the hill. For some reason though, this is one of the hardest things for a coach to really gets riders to do. Some do stretch and that is great, but for the handful who do not, and say, "Oh I can't stretch, I'm too tight and I cant even touch me toes." Argh. Get over it!! You need to be flexible to progress and be successful on your snowboard. So here are my recommended books for snowboarding flexiblity training.
